review 1: A relationship author and marriage therapist gets very honest and vulerable about her own relationship failings. Her books teach how to keep a lover, keep flirting and stay married while she was divorced three times and her latest attempt was a 13 year odyssey of misery and frustration. It is an unexpected lens into a relationship and how it didn't work. You sympathize with her in her attempts to be happy, fulfilled and stay sane in the face of great brokenness. I appreciate how she weaves her patients into her own discovery. Some of the stories are hard to read and assimilated but it is true account of how broken we all are in our attempts to connect with others on any level. A fascinating read.
review 2: Wolf's memoir of childhood pain and strangled attempts ... moreat love are blended seamlessly amidst glimpses of her patient's own raw and honest stories. "Love Shrinks" is told with enough simplicity to let the words flow smoothly forward, and the truth in her words touches on the relationship wounds we all carry with us, no matter how large or small.This is a captivating read that I found myself thinking about even after I put the book aside, and I feel sure that everyone that reads Wolf's memoir will find a little piece of themselves tucked somewhere within the pages. less
